See what we have there…a deso easymoder who is qqing… guess what anets purpose is… that not 1 server sits on nr1 for month like sfr or now deso did.

It is not about kolding 1st place. It is about population. I don’t know how you, but I don’t like empty borders. And that is what is happening on deso atm. While FSP have queues everywhere. Wouldn’t it be smart to give one of those servers to deso and so on fill borders? Nah. Better let them wait in queues.

seems like they want to kill gandara completely, 3 weeks outnumbered with deso and now 4th week again deso plus FSP (with 2 servers).

Our border have 1 camp only. Only thing that is competitive is EB……thanx…..I wont play this week.

Sounds like a quite natural match to me 1st vs 2nd vs 3rd

yet the point is that Gandara isn’t 3rd… In fact they should be aroung 5-7 place atm.

Enable revive orbs in wVSw

Never, never, never. Screw P2W! It is already enough with new classes being OP that makes HoT P2W. Maybe let’s enable revive orbs for sPvP aswell? This way ppl won’t need to respawn and that will save em time. Also it would bump Gems Sale!

really? FSP gets 2 servers although they are #1?

Only people count number of server is irrelevant,
Probably they are nearly empty.
And as transfer target for 500 gems it desn’t matter if it is 1 or 2.

Population seem to be further shrinking 1 tier less than before

They had queues for every border every single day for last 3 weeks, but ok… They are empty

“Anet and servers linking” It is not knowledge, it is state of mind

WsR and FoW had queue?

FSP had, so I don’t see a point to give em 2 servers…

Better 2 server a 10 people than 1 with 25, right? But yeah none wold have been better.

Still we don’t know how ANet computes population, probably quite a messy way.

They wrote that it is based on number of players playing WvW… But I bet it is like: “1000 players was playing WvW during this month, but only 100 for more than 1 day… Still let’s make it high, as 1k ppl was playing gamemode”

And yeah it would be better to give 1 server to every 1 of those servers, but with lowest population to 1st server, medium to 2nd server and highest to 3rd server. And now deso have 50 queue for EB only, while FSP have 80 queue for EB and 15-20 for every other border. That is good balance ><

I personally like outfits better usually.

“Usually”… That is the point! If they would allow us to swap armor parts with outfit parts then it won’t be “usually”, but “always”, Cos everyone would be happy if they would do that! Both those like you, who like outfits and those like me, who like armors sets!

Posted by: Kasteros.9847

Kasteros.9847

1. Anet doesn’t listen to players
2. It is a bit hard to calculate how many players play, cos…
a)Some players play from time to time(once a week, others once a month etc.)
b)Server’s population is all about player on the server(pve, wvw, pvp)
c)There are diffrent time zones
3. There is transfer option to linked low populated cheap servers

Trust me. We(WVW community) suggested hundreds of times similar stuff and much more and you know what? Anet don’t care about us at all ^^ Just look at votes, look at all those polls… Option that was best for community had to have 75% while the other, kittenty option, but recomended by anet 25%. Look what they made polls for! Cannons?! Repair Hammers?! They don’t care about WvW population at all!

Make polls avaible to WvW players only!

in WvW

Posted by: Kasteros.9847

Kasteros.9847

Ok so… I foudn this post today:

WvW is a disaster. It’s so bad that there isn’t even any attempt at balance; even though there is balance data from PvP, it’s not incorporated, because WvW is so broken that no amount of balance would help. Classes that can engage/disengage at will, like theives and mesmers with superior equipment can roam with impunity. Solo wandering no fun. My class doesn’t have the speed to run from alot of these builds. Even trying to run at the first sight of a human player is usually futile. Running in groups is nothing more than a numbers game where the large group rolls over the small group. Can I run with a group? My guild mates are all on different servers, so we can’t run together. From my perspective, WvW is just wasting the dev’s time. Of course there are players who enjoy WvW, and they apparently enjoy crushing non-WvW players. Well, guess what? I’m getting WvW survey invites now too, and I’m voting down any proposal for any development. I’d love to just forget that WvW even exists, but I’m being forced into the game mode to be fodder for roamers in order to construct a Legendary. Now you have a bitter player who going to eat up server space not cooperating with map strategy, and is going to vote against further WvW development.

The guy clearly said that he won’t support WvW and he will vote to not develop it… Anet kitten DO SOMETHING! Like… Make pools avaible via game to players with rank 50+ or 100+! This way it would be more fair and actually only WvW players will vote, instead of some PvErs that doesn’t like WvW cos… They are weak and can’t handle it so they vote to bring some kitten stuff or nothing at all to WvW! Isn’t it easy? Just make it the way you did with HoT buy option in game OR make NPC where players will be able to vote once and the in-game system would count votes! Like you did with election of Ellen / Evon! This way we would finally get what WVW PLAYERS want and not what some HATERS want!

The Amulet!

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

From the OOS AMA by the devs:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/4uqx15/out_of_the_shadows_devs_here_ask_us_anything/d5s3q7s

Q: …is there a specific reason the amulet infusion slot has been replaced with the enrichment slot instead of just… well, having two slots? I have to get a bit more AR for 14 characters now, which is quite the hassle, just because the amulet slot is gone. Was it a technical limitation you didn’t get around reasonably or was it simply a choice?

Developer response:

A: It was a systemic limitation.

With the change to infusion slots which let players place any Infusion into any Slot, we couldn’t keep both kinds of amulets.

[it] actually takes fewer +1 Agony Infusions to get 150 AR post-patch. To get 150 AR now, you only need to make 12 +8s and 6 +9s. You don’t need +11s or +10s anymore.

If you currently have a set of +11s and +10s, you can take those to the new vendor in the Mistlock Observatory to break them down into +9s and +8s. Once you’re down breaking them down, you should have enough Infusions to get 150 AR and still have 2 +9s left over.


https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/4uqx15/out_of_the_shadows_devs_here_ask_us_anything/d5s372q

Q: Is there any way to add a WvW Infusion refunder for laurels since the new infusions slots now allow for any type of infusion, the defensive infusions are pretty useless now.

And the dev response:

A: No plans for that. Those infusions are still functional, even if they’re not meta, and refunding laurels is tricky because those can convert to gold.

So… To be clear… They have players deep in their kitten once again… Thank you guys, you are great!

Give us armor skins instead of outfits!

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Kasteros.9847

Kasteros.9847

This may or may not answer your concern but here goes.

As you can see, Anet did, in the past, sell armor skins in the gem store. Some time back (over a year…maybe two), they changed their strategy to add new outfits only in the gem store. All new armor skins are in-game rewards. As I recall, this stemmed from overwhelming player complaints at armor skins in the gem store. Perhaps others will have more detail or maybe a different recollection, but this is how I recall it. The change was player-driven.

YEah that is a good point, BUT on the otehr side they didn’t release many armors since then… About 3? Or so… And a lot of outfits. Also does it hurt em releasing armors instead of outfits? They would still release armors to get in game, but also keep releasing armors for gem store

I’m missing something. You could only put utility infusions into an amulet before. They changed the name, but that’s all you can put there now as well. So, no change other than the name. ???

Acutally no… It depended what amulet you bought. Celestial 1 was for utility infusions, but other were up for defence / atc infusions.

How long has it been since last armor gemstore skin release? 2 years? Cos last 1 that I remember is zodiac skins set… And now all we get are outfits… Why? Anet, why? Can’t you release ARMOR skins instead of outfits? Then someone that would like to have whole armor like balthazar outfit he would have it, but if someone would like to have just shoulders form such outfit then he would be able to have it! Is it so hard to “cut” outfit and release it as armor skins set? I bet that if you would release last few outfits as armor skins the sell would be much higher! For example me and new Verdant Executor Outfit. I would love to have chest and head from this outfit as armor skins only, because whole rest is ugly. Unfortunatly I can’t do that so I won’t buy it

Stop doing stupid pools like cannons or hammers! Do something serious! Like some rewards to bring guilds back to WvW, balance changes( fix for boons and condis), and revive of warris! Also fix acs and for god’s sake please make siege that is disabled invulnerable so that won’t be destroyed when attackers can’t even use em! Or rework disables that they would make siege more vulnerable instead of disabled

You probably wont get a refund. My guess is you bought the sonic tunneling tool (or w/e it’s called) for the exploitable ability to use it to hide behind rocks because it lowers the player nameplate. Then anet fixed that.

Nope, I bought the one with lighting( forgot name), cos it looked cool, then I was playing PvP during season and working, so I didn;t have time for WvW. Now it is out of season for pvp and I can finally play WvW, cos I have 3 weeks of free time( finished project) and… I can’t use thing that I bought at WvW…

Nope, not gonna happen again, cos almost all HC players quit the game already. Even Chemso isn’t playing Gw2 anymore! RG disbanded, vE disbanded, Vendetta disbanded, TA disbanded, LaG disbanded, Re disbanded, dF disbanded, INC disbanded, thos are HC guilds from EU that were once top and now… They are all gone. There is such few HC players left to make anything and old guys won’t return( they went to play camelot:unchained, bd or are slacking in other games).
Now… even if they would return, Anet must make those things that you pointed and bring game’s balance from 2014, with all food, runes, classes etc. Also remove AoE restrictions and get rid of this condi kitten. Otherwise… It won’t work, cos they started to nerf guilds at the end of 2014 and nailed it with MT(stabil) nerf in march 2015. So… Unless anet make something, old good times won’t return and as i know Anet won’t do a thing as long as players buy gems and this joke – HoT

And finally nerf of MT nailed it and forced guilds and HC players to quit the game, cos c’mon… where is fun in condi pirate ship?

Nerf CONDI

in PvP

Posted by: Kasteros.9847

Kasteros.9847

Let’s clarify some stuff:

Condi CAN’T be applied through block evade or invuln, JUST LIKE POWER

ON TOP OF THAT you can remove it or use resistance to cover the burst.

So you actually have MORE ways of protecting yourself from it HOWEVER it’s supposed to be balanced out by Toughness.

If there’s an issue with condi it’s simply that. In my opinion the fix is simple. Take away the differential and make condi deal less damage based on toughness (maybe rename the stat) and make “toughness” give resistance and armour (yes that’s how you spell armour, Americans can’t spell).

Secondly, balance damage accordingly and remove condi cleanse/resistance from the game, since if you can dodge/block it, then why have more effects to stop damage for one type than another? If you make the above change, resist and cleanse can be removed.

Finally, condi being easier and not requiring skill is a complete myth made up by people who die to it because quite simply it’s annoying to die to a DOT even when you’ve disengaged. In actual fact there are additional REACTIVE WAYS to respond to condi bursts – remove condi or resistance, so just pay attention, you probably haven’t actually played a condi class and so haven’t learned how they work if you’re complaining.

Whereas power based damage requires more skill to mitigate because you rely on blocks/evades/unvuln solely and toughness which is passive, but doesn’t assist with bursts.

TL;DR – yes changes need to be made but stop complaining, condi is actually just as hard to play and easier to play against (as long as your class permits). If the meta is so heavily condi, stop playing your weak kitten build which hasn’t been adapted to deal with it – you freaking scrub.

Also, just based on “condi meta” DH isn’t going to be as poor as last season.

That is a lie. Necro marks go through blocks. Krait rune 6th bonus goes through dodges/blocks. Just to name few.

No condi removal in the world nor resistance is enough to deal with condi bombs that are flying atm.

Yeap, even cleanse runes are kitten when compared to condi runes…

Power builds have to deal with block, invuls, dodges, etc and have to actually time their damage perfectly.

Except condi builds have to deal with all of those too.

Condis have to be applied, to apply a condi you have to land a attack, if your target dodges or blocks said attack, no conditions are applied.

Check out condi runes like Krait or some passive traits Most of builds doesn;t even req you to land a hit, just run around and laugh whiel enemy will get condis attacking you, or just from missed elite. Also there are skills that canlt be dodged but put a lot of condis( like CB) and finally you can’t dodge every scepter 1 while reaper can spam it every single moment

Yesterday the numbers of viewers was about 1900 when i joined.

I think one of the problems of low viewers is ppl are focusing in ingame pvp rather than watching it. I’ve joined twitch after my daily dosis of pvp.

Nope, the problem is that people don’t care about e-sport of this game and it is just waste of anet’s money. Look at WoW… Ppl play PvP there, but don’t need any esports or tournaments to do that

Matchmaking is BROKEN.

in PvP

Posted by: Kasteros.9847

Matchmaking is not broken. The game is just very balanced. Metabattle shows 8/9 professions in meta. Game is finally balanced.

And all this meta builds are from HoT, cos every single HoT build is op now, it is not about balance it is about every single elite spec being good, while vanilla once are kitten So yeah it is balanced with anet being racist to vanilla owners

That’s just called buying the game. In other games new expansion brings higher level cap and gear level, in gw2 you can still have a fighting chance.

In such case it is just called P2W ^^

You are so right, because everybody knows WoW, FF14 and pretty much all mmorpg expansion are p2w am I right? /s

WoW P2W? You still play against lvl 90 players with your lvl 90 account… ANd here? You play with vanilla build against OP elite specs that are just kittenty OP and nothng else to add here If you don’t believe me go play wow and check out how it is working there, then come here, pick vanilla class and play some rankeds against hot builds, you will feel the diffrence

I’m playing vanilla warrior and you know what? This condi build is just kitten and must be nerfed. For real it is like smashing buttons to make condi burst and easly kill enemy. They mus either nerf mace condis or all zerker skills so that they won’t abuse mace’s condi application so much.

I think you are confused, I wasn’t talking about profession matchmaking (class stacking, etc.) I am talking about division matching.

Though I do agree, this is prob one the more balanced meta’s we’ve had in the past 6 -8 months. Most all classes are viable in competitive play.

“Most all classes”? I see only 8 as meta, while 9 is not there… You miss something m8

Also metabattle are just builds… If you look into game all you can see are: Reapers, Scrappers, Tempests, Rangers, and DHs ^^ Almost every game you must have necro and dh. TBh I didn’t see a game without them for 6 months now and not a single vanilla player… All with op elite specs ><

YEAH! PERFECT BALANCE!

Anet needs to realize that them balancing the game and making matchmaking for the few on the top is more harmful than anything else.

The entire system would probably work well if it had 10 times more players than we have now. But we dont. Setting up teams as “fodder” for “pro” players and stacking players with high MMR vs others with lower MMR has got to be the most sadistic nonsensical idea with as little players as we have now as you can come up with.

Its going to make players leave SPvP and make it even worse than it was before.

I’m playing one ranked game a day. I only need to get out of emerald to finish my back item. If the league stays in it’s current format next season I’ll stay in unranked. No point in playing when the league is not a true reflection of how good you are, just if your lucky enough to win a few games in a row.

Yeap, it is not about skill anymore, but how lucky you are and what teammates you get. ;/
